The Anbernic RG34XX is a very charming GBA clone. Buy the Anbernic RG34XX here: https://mttech.link/34XX It has all of the weird design imperfections, squishy buttons, and chonky shape that you remember. Without a doubt, this is the most nostalgic retro handheld I've ever played... But where it excels in nostalgia, it falls short in versatility and performance. The RG34XX is literally a clone console with an Anbernic chipset. It can play everything until around PS1-era, with some DS games in the mix. But the controls and 3:2 screen ratio are not ideal for most non-nintendo consoles. But that leaves us with one question: Is the RG 34XX the "Final Boss" of GBA clones? ----------------------------- TrimUI Brick Review: https://youtu.be/k8OoIvSIiT8 Super Mario 64 GBA Demake Project: https://youtu.be/nS5rj80L-pk Retro Handheld Accessories: 256GB MicroSD Card: https://amzn.to/4jf31Z4 MicroSD Reader: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_oFmWSNt This description may contain affiliate links.
